. QB. Oklahoma. Kyler Murray. 7. player. 52

It didn’t take Kyler Murray long to make an impact, as he stepped right in for 2017 Heisman winner Baker Mayfield and led Oklahoma to a conference title, spot in the College Football Playoff and the Heisman himself. Murray threw for 4,361 yards and had 42 touchdowns, completing 69 percent of his passes.

A top draft pick by the Oakland Athletics, Murray has yet to decide what profession he wants to take up moving forward. He’s put his name in for consideration in the NFL Draft, but the door hasn’t but shut on baseball just yet.

There are plenty of questions about Murray, especially considering he stands just 5-foot-10. Can he survive an entire NFL season? Will he be able to become more of a pocket passer? Heck, should the Jaguars try to do that or let him continue playing just like he did with the Sooners this past season.

Jacksonville has a glaring need for a playmaker, and that is exactly what Murray can be. Maybe he still needs some refining, but the skills are there for him to carve out a niche and help the Jaguars on offense.
